"Since being here, since `15, every year we've gotten better. I see it in spring training, in the clubhouse. Better guys, better talent, and I think we just had to make that last push, and I think we did that this year."

A similar compact between Florida and the Seminole Tribe is tied up in federal court after a judge in November found the multibillion-dollar agreement between the state and tribe allowing online betting violated a federal rule that requires a person to be physically on tribal land when wagering.

"It's a really important game, but it's a still just a baseball game," Mikolas said.
"The strike zone is the same. I've faced the Phillies before, their hitters are the same. Maybe they are a little more locked in. I'm more locked in because it's the playoffs. Everything is kind of the same. It's just a lot more important of a game."

Allowing the tribes to host internet gambling and take off-reservation bets would help improve relations and offset losses tribes have suffered from e-tabs, said Cynthia Monteau, a lawyer and executive director of the United Tribes Gaming Association, which consists of leaders from each of the state´s five tribes.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota´s five American Indian tribes are seeking exclusive rights to host internet gambling and sports betting in the state, a monopoly worth millions, just a year after legislators turned aside a push by one big national player to allow it in the state.

The proposal comes as Burgum has worked to improve state-tribal relations that have been especially strained since he took office in 2016 in the midst of prolonged protests and hundreds of arrests during the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline that passes beneath the Missouri River near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The tribe draws its water from the Missouri and fears pollution.
The tribes are turning to Republican Gov.
Doug Burgum to approve the idea under tribal-state agreements known as compacts, the first of which was signed in 1992. The current compacts expire at the end of this year and only Burgum can approve them, said Deb McDaniel, North Dakota´s top gambling regulator.

Bryce Harper is 4-for-10 with a homer against Mikolas while Nick Castellanos (5-for-15, two homers, three RBIs) and Rhys Hoskins (2-for-8, three walks, homer, two RBIs) have done some damage against him.

Burgum in 2017 signed legislation that approved the electronic pull tab machines, despite opposition from tribes that warned the Las Vegas-style games would lure gamblers away from the state´s tribal-owned casinos.

Nola is 5-3 with a 2.69 ERA in nine career starts against the Cardinals. Albert Pujols (3-for-6, two doubles, two RBIs) and Corey Dickerson (5-for-14, homer, three RBIs) have hit well against him while Tommy Edman (0-for-11), Paul Goldschmidt (3-for-20, eight strikeouts) and Nolan Arenado (3-for-15) have struggled.

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley, a Republican, said he has offered Burgum legal advice on the tribes´ proposal but would not disclose what it is.
Wrigley said he´s aware of the lawsuit in Florida.
